Chapter 742: The Response of the Turkish Army

It was not only the local garrison that was embarrassed, but Count Provence and Razet were also embarrassed. Before, they were worried about not being able to defeat the Turks, but in the end, Turkey was called a dish, and it was defeated by three times five divided by two.

solved.

Doesn’t this mean that their previous worries were unnecessary and unfounded?

The Earl of Province was a little better, but Lazette was really embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

Vishniak didn't say much, and said with a smile: "It turns out that the enemy is not as scary as imagined. As long as we unite as one and use the right strategy, it will not be difficult to defeat them!"

Count Province and Razette quickly echoed: "You are absolutely right. Next, shall we rush into the city and eliminate the remaining enemies?"

Vishniak shook his head and said: "No, we must move immediately and leave this place!"

Count Province and Razette couldn't understand. "You dared to attack when there were many enemies before, but now there are only a few enemies. Why do you still take the initiative to run away?"

Vishniak explained: "The enemy is not a fool. After being severely damaged by us, they will definitely ask for help. Even if they are small in number, urban combat cannot be accomplished overnight. Once we are surrounded by the main force of enemy reinforcements, the consequences will be disastrous!"

"So we took the initiative to evacuate, get out of this circle, and take a rest while seeing if there are other opportunities that would be more appropriate."

The Russian father said so. Count Provence and Lazette naturally did not dare to have any objections. Moreover, the Russian father's words were also reasonable. Once their small force met the main force of the Turkish army, they would be defeated in minutes. So.

It would be a good idea to leave as soon as possible!

Vishniak took Count Provence and others to move. One day later, when the Turkish reinforcements arrived at the local area, they only saw a field of chicken feathers. Yes, although Vishniak decided to move, he would not directly escape.

Instead, they robbed the local wealthy Turkish businessmen and landowners and robbed them all.

As a result, the Turkish reinforcements were scolded so much that they were almost unable to take care of themselves.

If this was the end, it would actually be nothing. Who hasn’t been scolded yet? What made the Turkish army uncomfortable was that just a week later, Boyajik, not far from Yambol, was attacked again, and it was still the same routine.

, the local garrison fell into the trap and were defeated one by one. The difference was that the losses this time were even more severe. Not one of the more than 500 people survived.

Just as the senior Turkish army officials were thinking about what was going on, just three days later, the Elkhovo garrison south of Boyajik was completely wiped out by the same trick.

They lost more than a thousand people in less than half a month, which was unacceptable to the Turks. The most important thing was that they didn't know who the enemy was and where they were. This was really unjustifiable.

"Tell me, where are the attackers? They can't be ghosts, they can't come and go without a trace. Who can tell me why they cause us losses again and again?"

No one can answer this question, and even if there were, they wouldn’t dare to say it, and even the higher-ups might not like to hear it.

In short, the Turks had to change their strategy again and increased the number of troops stationed in each place from 500 to 1,000.

It's just that more people means fewer points can be covered, and they have to abandon some less important towns.

Valley Tribulation

And this naturally gave Vishnyak an opportunity to take advantage of. He specifically chose those abandoned towns to start with. For a time, the wealthy Turkish businessmen and nobles in the small cities were in danger, and they had to give up their industries and take care of their families. Run to the big city.

As a result, the real estate they left in the countryside was completely deserted. Vishniak instructed Count Provence and Raziel to try to confiscate the Turkish real estate and distribute the crops they planted in the fields to the poor Vara. Guiyans.

This can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone. First, it bought people's hearts and made the Bulgarians who were originally eager to join Nicholas I's great cause more enthusiastic. Secondly, it also made Turkey, Britain and France evil. After all, these industries are not legal gains. It is conceivable that once What will happen when the original owner of the land returns?

Once a sharp conflict breaks out between Turks and Bulgarians, the fun will be great, and it is likely that more Bulgarians will take up arms against Turkey.

Vishnyak knew that Li Xiao's plan was to cause greater turmoil in Bulgaria. Only chaos in Bulgaria could create enough trouble for Turkey, Britain and France.

So for the next period of time, he continued to adhere to the previous policy and specialized in picking weak persimmons, causing the Turks to suffer heavy losses.

Finally, when Vishnyak and his men burned down the Turkish army's logistics warehouse in Gabrovo, neither the Turks nor the British and French forces could bear it any longer.

"In the past three months, a small group of enemies has been operating wantonly in our rear, constantly attacking our transportation lines, destroying our storage facilities, and even daring to directly attack our garrison, causing us huge irreparable losses. "

"If we continue to let them do whatever they want, it is very likely that our frontline offensive operations will also be affected! These nasty rats must be eradicated, and they must be eradicated!"

"So after discussion and approval by the coalition forces, I will deploy another 100,000 people from the front line and strive to eliminate them within a month!"

The 100,000 people who were mobilized could only be Turks. Not only did they hate Vishnyak to the core, but more importantly, their combat effectiveness was weak.

What? You ask, why do you want to recruit those with weak combat effectiveness?

The reason is very simple. If the British and French coalition forces are deployed, their total strength will only be two to three hundred thousand, let alone two or three hundred thousand. The deployment of one hundred thousand people will greatly damage the offensive capabilities of the coalition.

The most important thing for the coalition forces is to break through the Russian army's front, preferably to penetrate into the hinterland of Wallachia. Once the troops that can actually fight are mobilized, the pressure on the Russian army will not be enough.

Secondly, taking away 100,000 British and French troops to "suppress bandits" in the hinterland of Bulgaria is not what the Turks like to see. Although Britain and France are now in an alliance with them, the Turks do not trust them at all.

By allowing so many coalition forces to operate freely in the hinterland of Bulgaria, the Turks were worried that Britain and France might use this to gain leverage, such as fostering spokesmen in Bulgaria.

Considering both aspects, it is better to let the Turks suppress the bandits themselves. This will be better for both parties.

Of course, Britain and France also have something to say about this. It is okay to let Turkey suppress the bandits on its own, but Turkey must ensure that the problem is solved as soon as possible, otherwise they will not rule out taking action personally, and at that time many things will not be left to Turkey's final say...
